NYC-ARTS On the Go

Ten Must-See Dances by Bessie Award Nominees

Once a year, the entire dance community comes together at the New York Dance and Performance Awards (The Bessies), produced in partnership with Dance/NYC, to acknowledge and honor the outstanding works, dance companies and choreographers that have moved us.

The award recipients are chosen by the Bessie Selection Committee, which consists of artists, dance presenters, producers, journalists, critics and academics.

“Congratulations to all of the nominees,” says Lane Harwell, Chair of the Bessies Steering Committee. “The range of artists represented demonstrates the power and promise of our art form—what is happening, what is possible, who we are and who we might become.”

Here are 10 upcoming shows featuring artists nominated by the Selection Committee for this year’s Bessies. Definite must sees for this fall dance season!
